Lyra Veyra, the infamous Shadow of Blood, has never failed a contract—until the day she is sent to kill Kael Draven, a warlord whose name alone can topple kingdoms. Precision and stealth are her weapons, but when her dagger meets his chest, it's not his life that hangs in the balance—it's her heart.

Kael is as cunning as he is dangerous, a man who commands armies and bends loyalty with fear. Yet in Lyra's hands, he finds himself vulnerable to a different kind of threat: desire. Captured by the woman meant to be his executioner, he is drawn into a game where every glance, every touch, and every whispered word could be a trap—or a temptation he cannot resist.

As secrets unravel and hidden agendas collide, Lyra must navigate a deadly web of betrayal while grappling with feelings she has long suppressed. Kael, who has never bowed to anyone, discovers that the most lethal weapon may not be steel—but the passion that burns between them.

From shadowed alleys to opulent halls, from whispered threats to heart-stopping confrontations, The Dagger's Kiss is a romantic thriller where love is both a risk and a weapon. In a world where trust can mean death, can desire survive, or will every heartbeat become the last?
